Linux Frage: Nutze unter Debian quemu als hypervisor/Vitualisierungs-Enige. In einer virtuellen Maschine nutze ich omnissa horizon client (vmware). Bei suspend/resume am Gast-OS friert das Durchreichen von Tastatur-/Maus-Events an den horizon Client/die Remote-Sitzung ein. Das lässt sich z.B. reaktivieren, wenn ich in einem terminal unter dem Gast-OS eine Tastatureingabe tätige. Andere (Konfig-Lösungen) habe ich nicht gefunden. Ideen?

@ChuckMcManis the problem isn't #SystemD, but #Canonical and/or misconfigured Updating/Livepatching on your end...

Also #debian is also using SystemD!

Get over it, and hate the right stakeholders fir the right reasons…

I just realized that a big part of why I use Gnome DE is because it works best with one application per workspace, and that really helps with (my) #ADHD workflow.

Replacing Systemd with OpenRC in Debian

https://danielcordova.me/blog/debian-openrc/

#HackerNews #OpenRC #Debian #Systemd #Replacement #Linux

Starting the week with a good deed — to myself!

Liked to have the latest #jabberEl 0.11.1 on #Debian 13 #trixie stable, so I uploaded it to #backports.

Should be installable in a few hours:

$ sudo apt install -t trixie-backports elpa-jabber

At this point, using #Jabber/#XMPP or other free and federated IMs is the second best thing we can do against #ChatControl in the #EU. The best is to write to our #MEPs before Wednesday. Do both!

Eine #Linux #Frage: Ich nutze #Debian und möchte mir gerne gebraucht ein Gerät kaufen, auf dem ich auch mit einem Stift schreiben kann. Ich möchte endlich der #Notability u.a. #KI Slop Umgebung entfliehen und #OER Notizen anfertigen.
Gibt es Empfehlungen? Wichtig wäre, dass es
1. nicht zu schwer ist (weil #MdRzA)
2. der Akku mindestens 4h durchhält, damit ich nicht immer ein Netzteil in den Klassenraum mitnehmen muss. (#FediLZ)

Danke für Empfehlungen, gerne könnt ihr auch #boosten!

Cool seeing performance improvements for #Linux kernel. But at the same time I guess I won't get the benefit for something like 2+ years running a LTS #Debian.

The feeling today:

When ChromeOs says one thing, but the Debian community says another.

(In fairness, the keyword in the warning is "supported", and I have actually heard nice things about Linux on ChromeOS, where it is supported.)

@itsfoss well, it’s more like a life path. I started out with Alpine (very lean but hard to configure), tried Ubuntu (too much of a walled garden feeling), Manjaro (sexy, but breaks with almost every update) and finally settled on Debian. Boring, stable, dependable.

Tried some others as well (one night stands) but all just too short to make an impression.

#linux #alpinelinux #ubuntu #manjaro #debian

How old is the #debian installation on my NAS? Well, I upgraded to "new" stable and cleaned out untold numbers of kernels today, but I did keep the oldest one...

I moved to #Debian testing (#forky) recently after #Ubuntu started to get weird.

I was prepared to deal with "there may be the occasional bug". OK, someone has to test and since I am not using it for business, I'll manage.

What caught me by surprise: some packages simply don't exist, not even in an older version, because they are blocked.

No complaints, I'll manage, just surprised and a warning to others.

Nevertheless, if there is a way to install older versions for such cases, let me know.

Après plus de 15 ans sur #Ubuntu, j'ai finalement switché pour #Debian #Trixie il y a quelques mois. Je ne regrette absolument pas! Je ne suis pas dépaysé et j'ai une expérience plus épurée de l'OS. Ça me rappelle quand je suis passé sur Android sans surcouche. Je le recommande à tout utilisateur.ice d'Ubuntu qui est a l'aise avec l'OS. Il y a assez peu de choses a faire via le terminal.

🏠 Welches Betriebssystem treibt aktuell eure Haupt-Workstation an? Seid ihr standhafte Debian-Nutzer, Arch-User (btw), treue Fedora-Fans oder seid ihr mit etwas ganz Exotischem wie NixOS oder Gentoo unterwegs? 💻

Verratet uns in den Kommentaren, welche Distribution ihr nutzt und was der Grund für eure Wahl war! Wir sind gespannt auf den Distro-Mix in der Community.

#RadioTux #Linux #Distro #Debian #ArchLinux #Fedora #OpenSource #NixOS

Summary:

Total cost: $40 on sale, plus about 4 hours of effort.

At my hourly rate that's...way too expensive, really.

I should have just bought a Tuxedo with Linux pre-installed. I would have saved time (and time is sometimes money) and gotten better hardware.

But it works!

Some lessons learned:

+ Google really doesn't want to allow booting a custom OS. There's lots of boot level "security". I am too annoyed to comment fairly, but considering that step one was to wipe all data, the words "security theater" come to mind for all of the crap that followed.
+ Linux Mint either doesn't work here, or got very unlucky.
+ Arch Linux stills scares me.
+ Ol' reliable: Debian brings home the win!

Of course - building great operating systems is a collaboration, not a competition. (But Debian wins, anyway, tonight.)

💻 PC-Sicherheit für Linux: firejail 🔐

Freund*innen technischer Sicherheit: nutzt Ihr für Eure Linux Rechner auch firejail (oder ähnliches)?

Das Programm entdeckte ich zufällig vor ein paar Tagen, habe ein bisschen dazu recherchiert und es dann installiert.

Firejail baut um jedes Programm einen Schutzkäfig (sogenanntes Sandbox-Prinzip).

Das verringert, wenn doch mal Schadsoftware a.d. Rechner gelangt, die Angriffsfläche massiv.

Es gibt im Alltag ein paar kleine Änderungen, so kann ich zB aktuell keine Dateien aus dem Browser direkt in einen Unterordner speichern, sondern nur in den allgemeinen Download-Ordner und muss anschließend die Datei von dort manuell in den gewünschten Ordner ziehen, aber das ist mir der Sicherheitszugewinn wert.

Check it out😎

Hoffe ich natürlich auch. Und sowas klang im Gespräch mit Kristina (product owner der EUDIW) auch an. Aber ist save keine Priorität.

Die Kommission wird dazu nicht viel beitragen, weil die Umsetzung bei den Mitgliedsstaaten liegt.

Aber Public Code wird es. Frage ist eher wie TEE/ HSM dann umgesetzt wird.

Die spannende Frage für mich persönlich: Werde ich das #EUDIWallet ohne Android oder iOS benutzen können oder nicht?

Ich bin recht zufrieden mit #Debian (und #Mobian) und bleibe dabei. Sofern das #EUDI #Wallet im Sinne von #publicMoneyPublicCode #freieSoftware ist, sollte es sich auf #Linux portieren lassen, oder?

#TIL, that #Wikipedia does not run on #bigTech #dataCentres, but have their own #Debian servers. That's the spirit!

While others sail under the false colours of #digitalSovereignty or #digitalAutonomy, but put us in the chains of #hyperscalers.

@rl_dane @adamhavelka #debian lacks the resources to replace or fork the "slop projects" such as the Linux kernel. There isn't much that can be done at the distro layer.

@adamhavelka

I don't know of the specifics, but if it's anything like previous #Debian controversies, I'm sure it's been talked to death and then the folks with deepest corporate pockets eventually win anyway.

@developerjustin I'm running #Debian on a MacBook Air 2015. It's peppy and totally usable.

It's funny that I've often complained about #Debian being long in the tooth, but now I'm kinda considering sticking with #Trixie until 2030-06-30 (end of #LTS).

...becase it's relatively #slop-free, at least in "base."

#NoAI #AInt

@jdoolin Excellent point. This has been one of my observations of using #FreeBSD since 6.0. Another great reason to use it.

The same cannot be said for many mainstream #Linux distros. The #Debian I started with in 2005 is most definitely not the Debian today.

#Debian LTS contributors released 56 DLAs fixing 877 CVEs in May, a larger number than usual. The Kernel team deserves a special mention for handling the disclosed vulnerabilities on #linux regarding Local Privilege Escalation with public proof-of-concept exploits. On the LTS side, the Front Desk team also triaged a significant flow of high severity CVEs and notable security updates were released for exim, gnutls28, krb5, lemonldap-ng, imagemagick, openjdk-11, openjdk-17, php7.4, python3.9 and more.

Several patches were prepared by Catalyst for #Samba 4.17 shipped with Debian 12, to fix vulnerabilities disclosed in May, thanks to Freexian's partnership with them to extend the support.

LTS team also contributed with updates to the latest Debian releases, #bookworm and #trixie.

hmmm 🤔 why #Gimp isn't available anymore in #Debian Testing but it's still in Sid?

#Linux #opensource

Following on from a recent conversation with @rl_dane about running Joy+Horton #vi in one of its three (sic!) 'open' modes on a paper terminal:

I decided to see whether any modern #termcap or #terminfo database actually had any settings anywhere for switching dot matrix printers between near-letter, draft, and letter quality modes.

#Illumos, #OpenBSD, #Debian, and #NetBSD all use the Dickey terminfo.src. #FreeBSD is the only one maintaining a different database. It is still maintaining the old BSD termcap file, in 2026.

Neither of the databases have sdrfq/snlq/snrmq or ZG/ZL/ZK capabilities in any record.

This stuff exists solely as words on a manual page (and reprints of the same in various books) and a single Usenet post by Oliver Okrongli in 1994. It's not even in the O'Reilly termcap+terminfo book.

We should prune such stuff that apparently has never really existed.

@peteorrall

It's a pretty good n00b distro, honestly.

But #Debian has the same problem, even moreso as even the grub font is tiny.

Salut le Fediverse,

@adele a réussi à me motiver pour découvrir le Fediverse. Cela fait des années que j'ai quitté les réseaux sociaux, écœuré par les propos qui y sont mis en avant par les algorithmes, mais il parait qu'ici, c'est bien différent... alors explorons.

Ah oui, il faut aussi une #introduction :

Je suis informaticien dans une grosse boite (peu importe laquelle), certaines choses m'y exaspèrent et je fuis autant que possible les solutions proposées par les GAFAM. A titre perso, j'utilise un PC sous #Debian #XFCE

Je m'intéresse aussi aux solutions #lowtech avec pragmatisme. Exemple : j'aurais pu installer une instance fediverse et un blog sur une machine faible conso ou un portable de récup, il me semble plus intelligent d'utiliser un service existant qui consomme déjà peu. merci Adële <3

Chapter 3 of my thesis, “Software Obsolescence: Analysis and Remediation Strategies” is devoted to analyzing maintenance in @debian. In it, I discover that maintenance is a collective socio-technical process that extends far beyond #Debian, into the broader ecosystem of free software and the global digital infrastructure. It teaches us a different way of thinking about changes and updates to computer systems—one that is centered on the people affected by them.

That thing when a string of events collide to create an emergency. Always a head-scratcher. Luckily we were a team of three figuring it out, between us we got their quite quickly. If anyone has any ideas or has seen similar behaviour from #NGINX / #FUSE I'd love to hear from you:

Neuer Artikel im Blog: Serielle Konsole bei Debian 🐧

Wer seine VMs virtualisiert hat, kennt das Problem: Man will mal eben draufschauen, aber SSH ist noch nicht bereit oder es lohnt sich nicht extra VNC/SPICE aufzusetzen.

Mit ein paar Anpassungen an GRUB klappt der Zugriff direkt über virsh console – ganz ohne grafische Oberfläche.

Das Vorgehen lässt sich übrigens fast 1:1 auf andere Distributionen übertragen, nur das Kommando zum Neuschreiben von GRUB unterscheidet sich.

Yeah ich habe es geschafft auf meinem fürs Ferienhaus vorgesehenen Mini PC mit Debian 13 die neueste Collabora Office Desktop Version zu installieren.

@alatartheblue @moses_izumi

At this point, my main reason for recommending #Fedora over #Debian is that both grub and the LUKS prompt are graphical, rather in teensy text mode. Also, Fedora lets you re-attempt the LUKS password more times before pooping you into an inscrutable (for newbies) grub recovery mode.

That may sound incredibly trivial to an old neckbeard like myself, but it's a huge difference for newbies.

I'm also now investigating #NixBook OS for newbie recommendations. I'm not in love with Nix as a distro, but massive props to @codemonkeymike for all of his efforts, in both creating that OS spin, and in serving his community by providing free laptops rescued from e-waste. That's honestly heroic shiz, may-un. ;)

Le chapitre 3 de ma thèse « Obsolescence logicielle: analyse et stratégies de remédiations » est consacrée à l’analyse de la maintenance dans @debian. J’y découvre qu’elle est un processus socio-technique collectif, qu'elle ruisselle bien au-delà de #Debian, dans l’écosystème large des logiciels libres, et de l’infrastructure numérique globale. Elle nous enseigne une autre façon de concevoir les changements et mises à jour des systèmes informatiques, tournées vers les personnes concernées.

Question for Linux / Apple fans:

I'm considering buying an Apple Neo, to dual boot Linux Mint #Debian Edition on it.

Are there any specific concerns with using #Apple Silicon? Am I restricted in the #Linux distros and available packages?

I like the price point of the Apple Neo, and the fact that it comes loaded with creative tools, which I use heavily. For example, I have yet to find a #videoEditing tool for Linux, comparable to #iMovie. Also, Apple devices are elegant in #design and rugged in construction.

Am I better off buying a generic laptop instead? Recommendations are welcome!

I think I’m going to set up #Debian now. I have a huge problem with some packages conflicting and refusing to build on Arch, hindering the system update. Not cool and will take too much time to resolve for something that shouldn’t’ve even happened. I need a really boring system to base things off, as I care about software and ideas (and ed(1),) and not about drivers and systemd whatever. I just want something that is guaranteed to stay out of my way. So yeah, it’s a values decision.

I am also considering #Guix, but the stance on non-free software and the dire gaming situation is somewhat disincentivizing. No systemd and lack of slop though. Can I install Shepherd on Debian? Is Devuan a good distro? Is SysV too vaporwave with kids these days?

#Plan9 sounds fun too, especially for running in a container on a more secure system.

#selfhosting #Debian #Docker #Dockge

Anybody have experience repairing the Macbook chiclet keyboards? I have a Macbook A1534 that is a nifty little accessory. It's amazing how peppy and useful it is, like 11 years old (now that it's running #debian).

Anyways, the space bar on the keyboard is borked. It works about half the time. My best description is that it's not springing back up to the right high point when I press it. It kinda goes down and stays down. If I press fairly hard, it registers a space. With an external keyboard and mouse, this thing is great. Works perfectly. But with the space bar being wonky, it's hard to use on its own. Here's some photos. Anyone have tips on what I might do to repair/fix it?

I took it to a UBreakIFix place and (a) they say fixing it requires replacing the whole top plate, not just the keyboard, and (b) they can't get those any more. I would much rather fix the space bar than try to do open-heart surgery on a glued-together macbook.

Any suggestions, recommendations? Feel free to boost. Check replies before you reply, just to see if someone else already made the same suggestion.

@ploum I aligned with you on #Ubuntu having all kind annoying things like Snap. I prefer #LinuxMint ship with Cinnamon, easy to migrate Windows users on it. I would say the difference of LinuxMint over #Debian is
* Ubuntu deb versions so much more up to date than Debian stable
* That's helping on the software/hardware compatibility ( compatible deb, and more recent kernel supported )
For a stable system and long support #Debian is amazing

Debian 12 (Bookworm) is now in LTS (until June 2028). You don't need to change your apt sources, but you can expect fewer updates and you should be moving to Trixie where possible.

(sorry, one more edit! 😁 like @SuperDicq@minidisk.tokyo and @whimsy pointed out, debian stable does not upgrade packages to newer versions, but only backports important (security?) fixes (hope I'm paraphrasing correctly); so that means we're safe until debian trixie's LTS ends in 2030 🙏 problem still remains for the longer run tho, but I'm stressing out a bit less for the time being! thanks everyone!)

okay, some big debian questions; so I'm using rsync daily to backup all my important stuff (both locally and to offsite)

my debian stable (trixie) has version 3.4.1, which is fine; but I don't want the newer, sloppified version..

so I wondered:

- can I tell my debian install to just keep this version forever? or will that break things sooner or later?

(to everyone explaining how to hold a package, yes thanks but I know that; my question is more like "can I do that forever without things breaking". but I understand the answer must be no 😅 maybe the question was more out of desperation; that clearly isn't the way to go in the long run.. a real solution must come from the debian team then =>)

- since debian tends to be pretty strict when it comes to stability (it's called debian stable after all), is there an active discussion going on, in the debian community, about how to deal with obviously sloppifying packages like rsync?

will debian maybe freeze them at the last non-sloppified version too somehow, so I don't have to deal with that?

surely, it can't be that obviously worse versions of packages go from debian experimental, through testing, to stable, right? 😬

I'm rather curious/puzzled/anxious how debian will handle cases like this, since there's bound to be a ton of them before long.

does anyone, someone more familiar with the debian community, have some insights on this process, and if this is being actively discussed? I really hope it is!

because this is going to be a massive, make or break, problem before long - it kinda already is, at least for me, a random user, who is worried their backups might start breaking soon 😬

btw. I understand I could switch from rsync to some forked version, and I probably will if the answer to my question is "no, there's little discussion, and they are going to let the sloppified packages trickle through the experimental => testing => stable chain"; but that only works around the problem for this specific package.

I don't have time to find slopfree alternatives to all of these hundreds of tools that exist in a standard debian installation..

or maybe, would debian at some point maybe switch to forked, non-sloppified versions of packages, and denote them the new defaults, and handle the upgrade in somewhat automated fashion?

I remember how mariadb became kind of the new standard mysql, after oracle acquired that. but of course that only works if there is a big enough community of hobbyist programmers to maintain these unslopped forks - if only for security fixes; I'd be happy enough if everything just stays mostly fixed in functionally from this point in time on.

questions, questions! sorry this got a bit long and winding. just worried about the future of linux. I'm sure we all are.

Trying out #nvi-1.81.6 on #Debian as my primary editor on my work box for a bit.

At first, I was sad that I could no longer

some_command |vi

like you can with (neo)?vim, but then I realized you could just as easily

vi <(some_command)

Hmmm, the lack of line selection mode is a bummer. This might have more pain points than I was anticipating. XD

Maybe I should try #vim-tiny?

I guess since the whole "Flatpak creating a dependency on systemd" bullshit has surfaced this week there has been some other conversations about systemd going on throughout the Fediverse.

I've seen some oblique references to Debian making an effort to make OpenRC more viable as an alternate init system. That's about all I've gathered on my hit-n-run timeline surfing the last several days. Not sure if this is an official Debian project or just someone's wish list.

Anyone have the skinny? Links to actual discussions?

For my shop machine, I'm now actively testing Debian 14 Testing w/ Xlibre and SonicDE. So far, so good. I use this machine for client work and it also gets to be my guinea pig for testing drawing tablet workflows. Both native Xlibre (via wacom) and Gaomon's proprietary driver work. I'm impressed with how snappy SonicDE is - first time using it today. Great work folks‼️

Did a little adventure migrating my Debian Forky box from the in-repo nvidia (v550) drivers to extrepo nvidia driver (v595) as a work around for the kernel 6.19.x -> 7.0.x thing.

Yeah, don't do that.

I think the Debian maintainers do a bunch of work to the in repo drivers to make them 'nicer' - things like working better in multi-head. At least with my system sddm worked better. Also, the 595 drivers max the CPU under Plasma and makes it unusable (load avg ~25 on i7-11700k).

I ended up rolling back to v550 and pinning the kernel version to 6.19 for now. I'm still stuck with waiting for OpenZFS 2.4.2 for this box as well.

Nvidia drivers sure do make a mess between the number of packages required (with extra spicy things like new and interesting package name differences between in-repo and extrepo!) and the whole kernel version to module building process is a chore. I really appreciate that the teams make this work repeatably - especially when I tried going backwards to 6.19 with 595.

Anyway, rolled totally back to kernel 6.19, nv 550 and everything works as it should including OpenZFS v2.4.1 on this kernel.

One annoyance along the way was rolling back to v550 caused a sddm login loop. Deleting ~/.local/share/kscreen fixes this. Appears to undo minimal desktop tweaks, probably less noticeable on a non-multi-head host.

Things you do to avoid housework. Ha.

37 Debian LTS advisories were released in February fixing 145 CVEs across various packages. These include security fixes for bind9, firefox-esr, imagemagick, libpng, mbedtls, openssh, packagekit, perl, postgresql-13, python3.9, systemd and many more.

Debian LTS contributors also prepared updates for more recent releases, Debian 12 (#bookworm), Debian 13 (#trixie) and Debian unstable.

The asterisk package in #Debian now has three grave security bugs filed on it. This is in addition to the 3-year-old serious bug to block it from entering testing... because nobody is willing to step up and commit to fixing security issues. I wonder how long until they just decide to yeet it from the repo altogether.

Dear Linux newbie, remember:

- It doesn't really matter what distro you install as long as it runs the software you really use
- There's no better distro, all are just different approaches (and most are actually forks)
- Whatever aesthetic feature (like a desktop environment, apps) you're basing decisions on, you can change it or tweak it later anyway
- Customizing stuff isn't mandatory, you can go with the defaults and still be a chad, chill
- Learn some Bash, watch some tutorials, try it on a VM. Don't just blame the OS every time

And remember: there's nothing wrong with asking for help or learning stuff. At least you don't need to pay for a subscription 🤷🏻‍♀

DietPi 10.4 schließt Sicherheitslücken

Linux-Distribution: Debian 13.5 „Trixie“ erschienen, Fokus auf Sicherheitsupdates https://www.computerbase.de/news/betriebssysteme/linux-distribution-debian-13-5-trixie-erschienen-fokus-auf-sicherheitsupdates.97404/ #linux #debian #opensource #betriebssysteme

Debian 13.5 »Trixie« freigegeben
https://linuxnews.de/debian-13-5-trixie-freigegeben/ #debian #linux #linuxnews

So confused about this today, which I've never really though much about.

My #Linux #Mint 22.3 Cinnamon system wanted a kernel update this morning. It's got 6.17.0-29 on it now, and also gives me the option of installing 6.14.0-xx or 6.8.0-xx.

All of these of obsolete.

My Linux Mint #Debian Edition 7 system is running 6.12.88+deb13, which at least is part of the 6.12.x LTS kernel branch, but has itself also already been superceded by 6.18.x LTS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history

Then I erased the flash drive again and put #LMDE 7 on it. Much prettier than the default #Debian trixie themes, but would I really be missing anything from LMDE 7 if I just went directly to Debian, other than the much nicer default aesthetics?

Now I wish I had a spare system to test this on, but other than the 2017 MacBook Pro, which I can't erase, I don't.

Advice appreciated! #Linux #LinuxMint

Debian 13.5 xfce desktop

The 13.5 release for #Debian #Linux is now available. This does not constitute a new major version of Debian, this is just a point release that acts as a big rollup of #security and #stability updates. If you're already on Debian 13, all you need to do is install your updates normally and you'll be g2g.

Does anybody managed to use an Wahoo indoor trainer and Zwift while using only a Linux computer ? ( #debian more specifically)

Very curious about the whole setup.

Does anyone know of a ssl-cert template to generate an ECC private key instead of RSA with make-ssl-cert?

#debian #openssl

@rickvanrooijen @mho @parismarx I'll name one example of an American project that is well worth using: @signalapp . The model is sound, they aren't vulnerable to government spying due to strong #E2EE, they're a non-profit and not some money-grubbing megacorp. Yes there are some valid criticisms but it remains the best messenger for a whole family.

I use FLOSS from all over the world. #Debian and #Linux are international efforts, for instance.

Anyhow, appreciate the thoughts!

I am not sure what exactly makes it PClinuxOS, if the base is Debian. It does have the extra software tools that usually come with PClinuxOS.

It has a recent 7.0.* Linux kernel. Has xLibre installed by default.

PClinuxOS is a rolling release, but the repositories for this appear to be Debian Trixie... so is this not a rolling release Linux?

SysV init version: 3.14 - so no SystemD

Would be great to chat with someone who knows more about this Distribution.

More thoughts on #CachyOS...

• btrfs has some noticeable hesitancy at times, even on a fairly fast (8th gen i5) machine
• if you're (understandably) avoiding the AUR, the proper pacman archives feel a bit slim at times:

rld@prometheus:~$ pacman -Ss |grep "^[^ ]" |cut -f1 -d' ' |cut -f2 -d/ |sort -u |wc -l
16057

-- compare with #Debian (actually RasPiOS, in this case) --

$ for x in {a..z}; do apt-cache search $x; done |cut -f1 -d' ' |sort -u |wc -l
74416

(Not sure if that's accurate, but #DistroWatch says Debian has over 50,000, and Wikipedia says almost 70,000)

• I've had to come up with a couple bespoke "daemons," one to refresh the xrdb every 10 seconds (NO idea why xrdb forgets everything so often on this box), and one to refresh the keyboard brightness (I use symlinks in my home directory for this) every two seconds, so that it retains the setting after resuming from sleep.

Interesting post. I would like to see a more in-depth objective review of package manager comparisons.

Sure, speed is great but highly subjective - what if the nearest mirror is several states away or located in a different country altogether?

Some of the ones I'd like to see are:

1.) Number of available packages a distro offers in its default repos.

2.) Package manager features. Can updates be rolled back (not just removed)? How frequently are packages updated? etc.

3.) Ease of configuring your own local mirror.

A note about #Homebrew:

I use it on my #Mac and it's worked flawlessly there for the past six years. But out of curiosity, when I tried it on #Debian, I had weird persistence issues after rebooting the machine. For example Homebrew itself would require reinstallation after reboots and any packages I installed just *disappeared* and needed to be reinstalled too.

Anyone else having difficulties applying 7.0.4+deb14-amd64 to a testing/forky host with Nvidia CPU?

Debian embraces reproducible builds

Big news from the Debian release team: Debian is going for reproducible package builds.

Aided by the efforts of the Reproducible Builds project, we've decided it's time to say that Debian must ship reproducible packages. Since yesterday, we have enabled our migration software to block migration of new packages that can't be reproduced or existing packages (in te

Debian macht Reproducible Builds verbindlich
https://linuxnews.de/debian-macht-reproducible-builds-verbindlich/ #debian #reproducableBuilds #linux #linuxnews

In the latest in a series of articles about Debusine, our developers and sysadmins do a deep dive on how they managed to investigate and fix #Debusine workflow performance issues caused by complex interactions between a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues.

It involved delicate work to avoid system deadlocks, optimizing our workflow orchestration, scheduling fixes, worker refactoring and reducing the high database write volume.

Read the detailed breakdown at https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-performance-issues/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social

@rl_dane @mirabilos

That's because the repository on GitHub that #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, and Arch all download and use, is indeed named libcalqulate:

https://github.com/Qalculate/libqalculate

Debian's source package is also named libqalculate:

https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libqalculate

Only #Debian is subdividing what gets built into multiple binary packages. Everyone else is doing a simple 1:1 between source and binary packages.

It's possible to have a 1:many relationship between source and binary packages in Arch pkgbuild, as well. In theory, Arch could also provide the same finer granularity that Debian does.

## TIL about Ian Debian Murdock

### The sad story of legendary Ian Murdock

• Founded Debian in 1993 at age 20, while a Purdue undergrad
• Name "Debian" = Debra (his girlfriend) + Ian — she later became his wife
• Debian became the base for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Raspberry Pi OS, hundreds of distros, arguably the most influential Linux project ever
• Worked at Sun Microsystems on Solaris
• Became Chief Operating System officer at Docker, right at the peak of container adoption
• Died December 28, 2015, age 42, officially ruled suicide
• His final hours: a series of distressed tweets describing a violent encounter with San Francisco police (claimed they beat him during an arrest), followed by increasingly erratic posts, then silence
• His Twitter account was deleted by the family shortly after; the tweets are preserved in archives

Debian is still going strong, 30+ years later, without him but his contributions can never be forgotten.

>Although Murdock's parents were both from Southern Indiana,[2] he was born in Konstanz, West Germany, on April 28, 1973, where his father was pursuing postdoctoral research. The family returned to the United States in 1975, and Murdock grew up in Lafayette, Indiana, beginning in 1977 when his father became a professor of entomology at Purdue University. Murdock graduated from Harrison High School in 1991,[3] and then earned his bachelor's degree in computer science from Purdue in 1996.

>While a college student, Murdock founded the Debian project in August 1993, and wrote the Debian Manifesto in January 1994. Murdock conceived Debian as a Linux distribution that embraced open design, contributions, and support from the free software community. He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn Roundy, and himself.[4] They later married, had three children, and divorced in January 2008.[5]

>In January 2006, Murdock was appointed Chief Technology Officer of the Free Standards Group and elected chair of the Linux Standard Base workgroup.[6] He continued as CTO of the Linux Foundation when the group was formed from the merger of the Free Standards Group and Open Source Development Labs

>Murdock died on December 28, 2015, in San Francisco.[12][13][14] Though initially no cause of death was released,[15][16] in July 2016 it was announced his death had been ruled a suicide.[17][18] The police confirmed that the cause of death was due to asphyxiation caused by hanging himself with a vacuum cleaner electrical cord.[19][20]

>The last tweets from Murdock's Twitter account first announced that he would commit suicide, then said he would not. He reported having been accused of assault on a police officer after having been himself assaulted and sexually humiliated[21] by the police, then declared an intent to devote his life to opposing police abuse. His Twitter account was taken down shortly afterwards.[22][23]

>The San Francisco police confirmed he was detained, saying he matched the description in a reported attempted break-in and that he appeared to be drunk.[24][25] The police stated that he became violent and was ultimately taken to jail on suspicion of four misdemeanor counts. They added that he did not appear to be suicidal and was medically examined prior to release. Later, police returned on reports of a possible suicide. The city medical examiner's office confirmed Murdock was found dead.[26][27]

>The autopsy report noted extensive bruise marks found on Murdock's body, and a medical history of alcohol abuse, psychological disorders and Asperger syndrome.[28][17]

RE: https://exquisite.social/@thomholwerda/116535458295130039

Ok, so this thread (read it on) changed my views on #Devuan.

And here I was thinking that it was the good version of #Debian, done without systemd etc. Instead, I think I will look for more #AlpineLinux systems to deploy

When I set up this Debian box with ZFS I tried setting up ZFS swap to see how it worked. There were warnings in the OpenZFS docs but I gave it a go anyway.

The system is configured with two fast NVME connected to the CPU and mirrored for the root pool. Swap was created as part of the rpool.

It's a bad configuration. After a number of hours the load average consistently heads into the high teens or higher. Turning off swap makes it drop immediately to ~1.0 (typical for this box running a desktop and futzing around in browsers and shells).

As far as I can tell it's not possible to resize a ZFS partition in situ so I added the swap partition on the third NVME that is formatted EXT4 (south bridge x4).

Not ideal but it is perfectly serviceable.

NVME drives are so fast, would I really notice a difference by the seat of the pants with the swap on partitions on the north bridge connected mirrored devices? Probably not.

Leaving sleeping dragons for now.

@kkremitzki

They've got the classic debian swirl color, but I don't know of anything else. Of course, #Debian doesn't actually theme anything, a decision I can definitely respect. Still, there's the debian-themed boot screens which are vaguely... bluish?

Funny aside, the original debian swirl logo (and the genie's lamp, a variant that isn't seen often) was created in Adobe Illustrator in the late 90s, using pretty default settings of one of AI's tools. I don't remember where, but I read a write-up on that recently.

It's ironic that a FOSS OS's logo was created with such a proprietary tool, but this would've been in the 90s, and Inkscape wasn't quite a thing yet.

Niggle that is hard to research...

For anyone running Debian Testing (Forky) and using Waterfox, some video will not play due to Waterfox 6.6.12 not being compatible with ffmpeg v8. It is expecting v7 and I guess there are some videos where the video won't start due to switches, params, or whatever.

My use case was an old Youtube video that I snarfed many years ago and had on my Jellyfin server.

[ Stream #0:0[0x1](und): Video: h264 (Main) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(progressive), 854x480, 1100 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn (default) ]

Waterfox (v6.6.12) won't play it but Librewolf (150.0.1-1) does. Both are installed from PPA, not flatpak.

Forky currently has: ffmpeg/testing,now 7:8.1-3+b1

New stuff plays fine so I hadn't noticed it since ~Wednesday when this box was re-imaged and moved into.

Apparently the Waterfox flatpak doesn't have this problem (probably has it's own ffmpeg v7 bundled inside or has a flatpak ffmpeg dependency).

I could get into the weeds further to confirm but Librewolf works for now. I'll wait for Waterfox to work through it. 🙂

@thomholwerda #Debian. I've been using it for literally 30 years. In all that time, it has remained community-owned, with assets held by a non-profit. Its founding documents say that the priorities are its users and Free Software. I personally have used it for everything from large-scale deployments, Rasberry Pis. Its policy of backporting security fixes means things like automated security patches are much more practical than with rolling releases.

If you're seeing articles about #chrome like https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/, just be aware that #chromium in #debian (and #UngoogledChromium) removes this garbage (https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/pull/3676). Stuff like this is why I don't think the answer to "how do I get the latest software in my distribution" is not "Just use a flatpak/snap! Upstream Knows Best!™ "

Anyone else having issues connecting to the Debian wiki? I get the initial anti AI screen or whatever it is and then it gives me a "Forbidden" page.

Accessing via VPN works but from my normal Bell CGNAT IP does not. It's not a 403, just a text pages saying Forbidden.

Did the Debian admins block Bell Canada residential IP ranges by mistake?
